I'm surprised to see that the entire series has been called off. Yesterday I placed a bet on Pakistan to win the match. All of the bets are voided now and the bet amount is refunded. PCB gives higher class security to the visitor nations. I still remember that how PCB had given the security to Bangladesh cricket team while they visited Pakistan in the last year. I will address it as a bad move by NZC if the series has been cancelled for political reasons. Was there really any security issue?

No, you Endians should stop spreading your propaganda !! Its well known fact that Sourav Ganguly called the NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and told her to cancelled the tour.
No please, Sourav Ganguly don't have guts to call the NZ prime minister. It happened at the upper level
The below picture tell you exactly how it happened.

Security is far more important than any match or series. However, the strange thing is that how come they felt their is security threat just before the match ? They should have not come to pakistan if they were not comfortable playing here.
Also they now want to abandon the whole series without give explanation of who gave the news about the threat and all the details. I think there are many unanswered questions here.
The explanation will be New Zealand might have got some intelligence information that there will be a terror activity in Pakistan, if not why do you think they would cancel the tournament when the entire team is in Pakistan and their neighboring Afghanistan is in turmoil after radicals taken over power and it is their genuine concern that something bad is going to happen.

Earlier Sri Lankan cricket players were targeted and for them they show how escaped with injuries and no one lost their live. So if there is intelligence information about a terror attack they will pull their player.

Even if your argument is true, why can't they tell the source of this information. All the details of this intelligence information should be shared with Pakistani security intelligence. If there is a real threat, then of course they should not play the series.

It is well understood that Pakistan's security threat is one of the most frustrating aspects for its people. Pakistan had literally recovered from the inability to host home games when NZ postponed the series. There are many people who are not happy as they want NZ to respond in a clear way. Not sharing the threat and taking unilateral action is not the way the world works. Doesn't this response constitute a source of humiliation for Pakistan and disgusting?

This is not the first time we are witnessing this. England called off the South African tour and then Australia did the same.
Similarly New Zealand decided not to play in Pakistan and we might see that England also cancel the tour to Pakistan (England tour of Pakistan in doubt as ECB reassesses security arrangements).
I am sure sooner or later, ICC, BCCI and ECB will regret for all this manipulations when they will be left alone.

Looks like PakvsNZ tour is cancelled.
I don't know if all this is planned or who are behind this but one thing is for sure that there is no security threat in Pakistan.
You can't refuse to play the game with baseless argument unless you are afraid to lose.
Its a bad day for cricket. Shame on New Zealand Cricket board.
The below tweet by Sohaib Akhtar says it all...

^^^ New Zealand Cricket took the decision to postpone the series just few minutes before the first ODI was played, because they received some information from the NZ government that there is significant threat of a terror attack. The entire contingent is now preparing to leave the country. Big disappointment for the cricket fans in Pakistan, because the Kiwis were visiting that country after a gap of almost two decades. Babar Azam also put up a statement in the Twitter, saying that the pullout was not justified.
This is very bad news for Pakistan. Because no country is interested in going to Pakistan to play a series. After a long time, a big team like New Zealand is interested in playing with Pakistan. The government of Pakistan should tighten security very much. As a result, no untoward incident can happen. The Pakistani government may have been indifferent to this.

@pakhitheboss indeed Pakistan will have a strong advantage due to the home factor, and New Zealand will have to play their best game if they wish to win this game. Also I personally feel that Pakistan will defeat New Zealand easily, but is there anyone here that’s expecting the opposite if yes please share your reasons with us?.
Pakistan need to work hard for a win. New Zealand is right now one of the top teams in world cricket. But this time they have sent an inexperienced side, and they fared poorly recently in Bangladesh. For players like Colin de Grandhomme and Scott Kuggeleijn, this series can be considered as the last opportunity to make their mark felt with the national side. The addition of Matt Henry will strengthen their bowling attack, but the spinners need to provide adequate support (Cole McConchie, Ajaz Patel and Blair Tickner).

Pakistan vs Newzealand ODI series starts today. The match will be played in Rawalpindi Pakistan. I am not sure but I think this is the first time an international team will be playing in Pakistan this year. 3 ODIs will be played between them and I think Pakistan will dominate this series as it is played in their home ground.

The turmoil started on August 15th, what it has to do with their performance now? Will they be allowed to play the WorldCup is a big question mark? The British government has already said that they will not recognise the new government in Afghanistan. ICC might follow go ahead and ban this team from playing any kind of cricket in the future. This tournament might become their last.
It's just a matter of time before they are banned from all forms of sports. What happened to apartheid era South Africa will happen to Afghanistan as well. But that said, I don't think that the ICC will ban them from the world cup. Any action is likely to come after the tournament, since there is not enough time available to replace Afghanistan with another team. But Australian cricket board has already said that they will be cancelling the test-series against Afghanistan. BCCI's position is going to be important.

Is anyone watching the match of Bangladesh Under-19 Youth? Looking at their performance, it seems that they are very talented. They will lead the Bangladesh national team in the future if they are managed properly by the board.
Bangladesh U-19 team is playing against Afghanistan U-19 team. Bangladesh also won the previous match. In today's match, Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat. They lost all their wickets to collect only 101 runs. For Bangladesh, Naimur Rahman has taken 4 wickets with only 14 runs in 10 overs.

I am not surprised by the poor performance from Afghanistan, because a lot of turmoil is now ongoing in that country. The players are not being able to concentrate fully on the game I guess. But both the matches were quite close. And Bangladesh batting looks very brittle. In the first match, they managed a total of only 154 runs, while in the second they lost 7 wickets while chasing 102. Afghan spinners (Shahidullah Hasani, Izharulhaq Naveed) caused a lot of issues for the Bangladesh batsmen. Three more ODIs remain. Let's see how Bangladesh fares in them.
